January is the setting sun and the golden hour is complete. Keep your eyes wide open because there is some fierce tiger energy coming in today. Not only did the New Moon peak at midnight (depending on your location) but it's also the Celtic holiday, Imbolc. A halfway point between the winter solstice known as Yule and the spring equinox known as Ostara. Light is returning and the seeds you planted are getting ready to emerge. A clean slate has been presented. The motion of cleaning off a dusty, cluttered antique desk with a swipe of the arm is happening. Bye old business, hello to the new and improved you. Wiccans celebrate Imbolc by honoring the pagan goddess Brigid who was known as the fertility and fire goddess. She oversaw crafts, poetry, and prophecy. It's a perfect time to start a project, especially a crafty or artistic one. It's truly a time to reconnect with nature so make a date with the outdoors, snow or shine. Light my fire as Jim Morrison would say. Somebody please have a bonfire for me since I can not! In Chinese astrology it is the year of the tiger. Happy Chinese New Year! Think big, bold, & fierce! I have celebrated this holiday for many years because of my old boss and friend that is from Malaysia. I always ask him what we have to look forward to in the upcoming year. He says this is the year of the water tiger and that shipping and travel will flow again. He also said to make your home a sensory haven. Try to add all 5 elements to your home like water, wood, fire, earth, and metal. Practice Feng shui to bring balance and harmony to your safe space and add a plant or 10! Add a fountain in the center of the house. Add metal art, indoor windchimes (mom has hers in the corner of her bedroom and her fan pointed at it), and some fiery colors in a rug or in your linens. Let there be light! Literally add some cool lighting with color changing light bulbs, candles, or lamps. Create a sanctuary that will encourage healing and creative articulation.
Stay tuned! I've started my project and Healing With Reiki- Level I will be available virtually very soon. Have any interest in learning how to heal yourself? Let's connect. Remember, you are not alone. It's ok to rest. Inhale abundance. Exhale the bad juju and allow yourself to heal.

6/4/2018 0 Comments E.v.o.l.v.i.n.gYall, It's been a HOT minute since I gave an update on what's been happening and what's coming up!! Isn't it funny when life happens and once you look up, months have gone by. A lot has happened in my personal life with my family and I have been needed elsewhere. BUT I have continued spreading Reiki love everywhere I go. I have been blessed to have students and clients come see me here at Bamboo Field. The future is bright and new things are coming! Please stay tuned. In the meantime, if you are looking for Reiki sessions or want to learn Reiki, send me an email or contact me via phone! I don't have a schedule posted but I am available weekly! FYI Massage Therapists, I offer (6 CEU's) for Level I!! Now to get a little 'heavy' as my close friends would say. I have run into other lightworkers that are experiencing similar if not the very same things I have been recently. Without covering the whole map of evolving, cause that would probably take me a century and honestly all over the place because I am smack in the middle of it, I will just share what I have experienced presently. The definition of Evolving is to develop gradually, especially from a simple to a more complex form. Oh, that's all? Come on! I want to shed light and dark on this topic. There may be some sarcasm in this post but it's only out of love. Love for myself and for this process that will be everchanging and cultivating until the day I pass to the next plane. Here are some observations:
How long will this last you ask? I don't know. What I do know is there is a lot of us out here feeling the same thing but we think we are alone. Let's get together! We need to vent and share our experiences with one another. We need to lean on one another because this is intense! Sharing some of my stories with other lightworkers has helped me lately. They get THE look of relief on their face. I take the exhale of exhales cause I feel like im holding my breath. If you are having similar experiences, feel free to reach out! Email me your story or share it below for other lightworkers. Until the next time, I'm just waiting for the next 'wrong turn' which is actually the right one. I will make the best out of this liminal space I am floating in like alice did when she fell down the rabbit hole. I am going to continue receiving bodywork like massages, acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, and REIKI because it's takes a village. What brings you relief? I am open to some tips!
12/11/2017 0 Comments Receiving a Reiki SessionFor those of you that have received a Reiki session, you know it's hard to describe to others in words. This sacred healing technique really is tough to condense into a few sentences, but I wanted to share some of the feedback I have heard over the years from previous clients. First off, what one person felt during their session can be incredibly different to another person. Reiki energy can be subtle and gently makes it way where the energy is needed. Not one session will ever be exactly the same as the last. Some people do not feel much during the session and others experience sensations in all the senses. However, the results of a session are usually consistent from person to person. Relaxation. "No expectations are the best expectations." What happens during a reiki session?
Things the client can experience during a reiki session:
Post Reiki session testimonials: "The weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders. I had so many worries upon walking into this appointment, but now I feel much lighter and those things that were causing me anxiety are gone. Life is good!" "I had a terrible migraine I had been battling for days. After the Reiki session, the excruciating pain was down to a dull hum. I feel very relaxed." "I can not describe what I felt, except I felt a lot of heat and very calm throughout session. After the session, I am feeling very happy and blissful. I will definitely come back after the holidays for a 'tune up'!" " Leslie helped me achieve healing at a deeper level than I ever thought I could achieve. I suffered from depression and anxiety and was on many medications for half of my life. I can say that with her help and the help of other holistic modalities, I am no longer taking any medicine for my emotional problems." 12/1/2017 0 Comments Managing Holiday StressReady or not, the holiday season has arrived. I'm sure you're lists have multiplied. The invites to holiday parties are arriving and you are adding them to your calendar. What will you wear to the cocktail party? And before you know it, you'll be reciting the same thing from last year.... 'Where did this month go? and 'I am so stressed out!' Adulting becomes that last thing you want to do. Look, I'm a planner, but no matter how much I want things to go exactly how I saw it in my head, they never do. It's just not how the universe works, y'all. I'm still going to make my lists and check them twice. I am also going to practice these stress relieving exercises when the 'heat is on'. Get ahead of the hustle and try some of these tips for managing holiday stress.
First, let's go back in time. You knew I was going to make you take a little trip down memory lane, didn't you? When you were a child, this was the most magical time. You didn't worry about the things you do as an adult. And hopefully, you didn't have to! The time off from school was a a great way to kick the holiday off. The special treats that only come during this time of year, like Christmas cookies, fudge, egg nog, and peppermint bark! How about the lights, y'all! They were everywhere and in all colors. Add on the decorations in neighbors lawns and the glow of red and green anywhere you went added to the magic. Then, some of us had Santa, who would be coming at the end of the month with presents! Others had Hanukkah, where they spend 8 days celebrating with family, friends, food, and gifts. Life was easy and had moments of bliss that you can still remember. What were some of your favorite magical moments when you were younger? Take a minute and think about them. Remember what I said from my last blog? Those memories are your happy thoughts forever. When you are stressed, it' important to shift the energy to something positive. Stop, breathe, and find that magical moment from your childhood. Sit in that place until you feel the energy shift. Once you feel things start to settle inside, try the following tips for a sure fire way to get back to bliss and actually enjoy yourself the holiday season.

10/24/2017 0 Comments Divine TimingEveryday, the sunrise rises and sets on a continual rotating clock. The seasons come and go the same time every year yet we still say the same ol' "I can't believe the holidays are already here!" Time is one of the most precious gifts we have, but it's something that we can take for granted at times. We get stuck on making routines, setting plans, and trying to control life only to be 'surprised' when things don't go our way. Life is unpredictable. Change is inevitable. Man plans, and God laughs. I was introduced to the words 'divine timing' in my early 20's when I started using an Oracle deck. For those of you that don't know, an oracle deck is tool some use for receiving positive affirmations or messages. It's a no-rule type of tarot. No structure or layout is needed. You just shuffle the cards, while thinking of a question or just asking for guidance for your day. There are many decks out there, but my favorite theme for an oracle deck is the angels. One of the cards I drew frequently was Diving Timing. Little did I know, it would be one of my favorite cards after all these years. It affirms to me that everything is happening in the 'order' and time it's supposed to. No need to rush, you can't control it anyways. No need to get upset when things go awry, it will happen when it's supposed to if at all. It's easiest to see examples of divine timing in the biggest transitions of your life or significant milestones that you have accomplished. Remember you before the crisis, the problem, or the huge move? How about enduring a heartbreak only to find your soulmate afterwards? Think back to how things fell into place at the right time and the way everything worked out in maybe a way you didn't see happening. Divine timing is such a gift. When you notice it, acknowledge it and then be grateful. Thank God, the universe, your angels, the Divine Source you choose. Trust the process and know that the universe has your back. 10/8/2017 0 Comments Level II WorkshopThe October Class is full, but November's Class has some openings!!

However, after every significant life change, it seems fitting to remind one of the ancient legend that relates to letting the past go and start embracing the new beginnings. The mythical magical bird, painted in the colors of gold and scarlet, symbolizes resurrection and renewal. In Asia, the phoenix symbolizes feminine grace and also represents the Chinese virtues such as kindness, duty, and reliability. We are all going through something and when that thing is heavy and the burden of it's weight is to hard to bare, let it go. Visualize yourself as the mighty Phoenix. Every time you get knocked down because of life's challenges, remember that these are all apart of the plan.
